But if marriage is important to you, could you date a guy who said he didn't ever want to get married?

I imagine it would be hard to call it quits with a great dude, just because he says he doesn't want to settle down. Plus, I feel like lots of girls would hope that after a few good years, they could maybe change his mind.

What do you think? If you were dating a guy who announced he never planned to get married, would you keep dating him? Or is this a hopeless scenario? Do you know a guy who said he'd never marry but later wound up saying "I do"?
